HandySoft, the leading global provider of dynamic Business Process Management (BPM) and Tasking solutions, has been named one of KMWorld's "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management."
"Now in its eighth year, our list recognizes organizations leading knowledge management innovation," said Hugh McKellar, editor in chief of KMWorld. "With BizFlow®, HandySoft has delivered an innovative solution to fill the void between process-driven work and email clutter with a solution that goes beyond the boundaries of traditional BPM. The real knowledge management impact comes from capturing and interpreting detailed work and task assignments and proactively serving up related information assets to knowledge workers."
KMWorld estimates that more than 1,500 companies fall under the category of knowledge management and are eligible for this list, which is compiled through discussions with knowledge management practitioners, theorists, vendors, customers, industry analysts and editors.
Speaking of KM in Government, Doug Stock, Executive Vice President of Evolvent, said, “We have worked with HandySoft’s BizFlow® for several years. It serves as the cornerstone of Air Force Medical Service’s SG/TASC application, a knowledge management and workflow automation solution helping military health personnel initiate, track, and complete tasks for policy and program development. We congratulate HandySoft for developing leading-edge functionality that serves our military so well.”
Speaking of KM in commercial organizations, Bill Webking of M&H Enterprises said, “BizFlow® is great for creating knowledge management and process automation solutions. One such example is the Management of Change (MOC) or Engineering Requests in the Oil & Gas sector. If there is something that needs changing – drawing, equipment, operating procedures – on some facility – off shore platform, chemical production plant, refinery, or pipeline – there should be a formal review of that change. On a big oil and gas platform, for example, organizations conduct 200-300 changes per year. The reviews of those changes should be captured and stored in one place for future compliance and analytical purposes. And through the BizFlow® process archive, everyone gains visibility into a complete log of MOC actions from design time to close and facility decommission or sell-off. This aspect of knowledge management is crucial to maintaining safety and health to people and the environment.”
"We are excited to be counted among such great organizations," says Bruce McLeod, CEO of HandySoft Global. "BizFlow truly acts as a foundation for knowledge management. By automating processes and ensuring those processes capture data, comments, and dynamic collaboration, organizations collect and retain an enormous amount of information from which can be turned into knowledge for decision-making and succession planning.”
The list of 100 companies is included in KMWorld's March 2007 issue, available online at www.kmworld.com.
